           Summary: document.dir behaves differently in <head> than Firefox
                    and MSIE
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 420+ (nightly)
          Platform: Macintosh
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.4
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: HasReduction
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: HTML DOM
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at opendarwin.org
        ReportedBy: ddkilzer at kilzer.net

This is a follow-up to Bug 9911 Comment #12 to check on the behavior of
document.dir in the <head> section of a web page.

1. Default values in <head>:

Firefox 1.5.0.5rc3: 'ltr'
            MSIE 6: '' (empty string)
     WebKit r15465: undefined

2. Both Firefox and MSIE allow document.dir to be set in the <head>, and the
value carries over to the body.  WebKit does not allow the value to be set, and
the value is still undefined in the body.

3. Firefox, MSIE and WebKit all allow the document.dir property to be set in
the <body>.
